Hi, I'm not sure whether you got the last message so I transfer it back to you. Reading further the documentation, I've thought that you might be interested also in Apache Felix Sigil ( http://felix.apache.org/site/apache-felix-sigil.html). It's a product specialized in OSGi dependency management and is pluggable into Ant/Ivy build system.
